Secrets Don't Make Friends

I'm not one for keeping a secret about myself.  I've always been a very open book and like to share with the world anything they'd like to know.  My friends probably know WAY too much information about my bowel habits, embarrassing stories, and menstruation.  Not exactly a shy girl.

Which makes it all the more amazing that I can keep a pregnancy secret for so long.  With Paisley, I announced it at 13 weeks after our NT scan.  Even then, I would have hid it longer if my belly bump wasn't starting to give me away.  It's kind of fun being one of the only people who knows that you are growing a miracle in your uterus.  And let's face it- who likes thinking that their boss, parents, and even strangers are calculating exactly when something personal may have been happening with the spouse.

With that little tidbit of useless information, I'd love to announce that our 2nd baby is due in August!!!  I'm 12 weeks pregnant and things are checking out perfectly.  We are so incredibly thankful that a no treatment baby could happen for us.    I would have posted this much sooner, but we have so many real life friends and family who read my blog that I couldn't let the news slip until now.  It gave us a wonderful opportunity to tell people in person this time around and really celebrate our growing family.

I'll post more about how I found out and how I've been feeling tomorrow.  Just wanted to let you in on my little, ever-growing secret!!!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

Blogging Failure

The fact that I blog less than I exercise is not a good sign.  I miss you all.  And I'm glad to be where I'm at because the problem is that my cup runneth over.  Life is crazy.  The kids are growing and becoming real people and exploring and I'm still struggling to figure out how to parent a VERY challenging 3-year-old. Dear Paisley is actually quite a joy to raise.  She is spunky and energetic and funny.  We desperately struggle to stifle our laughter as we discipline her for things that I never expected her to do or say.  She is the center of attention and loves her baby brother like there's no tomorrow.  I've never met a more opinionated and divalicious child though.  She picks every piece of clothing she wears, which toy she brings in the car, exactly what she is willing to eat, how her hair is fixed, which door she uses to get in the car, etc.  I hear you out there judging me.  I would have to until I gave birth to Whitney ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...
